PUNXSUTAWNEY â So far, SS.C.D. School has raised more than $1,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundationâs annual âLight Up a Childâs Lifeâ campaign, but according to Principal Jessica Newcome, today will âmake a big difference.â

The studentsâ challenge: Convince SS.C.D. employee â and Punxsyâs biggest Green Bay Packers fan â Dan Prutznal to at least appear to be a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers today.

As Prutznal will surely tell you, his beloved Packers defeated the Steelers 31-25 in Super Bowl XIV. But today, he will will wear one piece of Steelers attire for every $25 the students raise.
